Capcom has announced that it will be bringing another title to Nintendo's handheld system, introducing 2013's classic RPG Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen to the Nintendo Switch.
For those that have never heard of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, the game was released back in 2013 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The title is developed by Capcom and gives players the option of choosing between nine vocations or classes, each completely different from the last and each with a unique set of skills and attributes. Players will not be alone in the world of Gransys as they will be embarking on their adventure with three AI companions called 'Pawns.'
Pawns can be swapped in and out depending on what the player prefers and can also be shared online to reap rewards of treasure. Pawns will primarily assist the player in taking down massive enemies and can also be used as a utility when completing certain quests. Within the entirety of this post I have provided dot points for the 'key features' of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen by Capcom. The Nintendo Switch version of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen will be arriving on the handheld console on April 23, 2019. Fun fact - the original Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen was released on the 23rd April, 2013 and now the Switch version is releasing exactly 6 years to the date.
